first impressions

lucky for me, Priesthood blessings are a miracle i am blessed to enjoy in my life. i know it was because of the blessing i received that i was able to go home on sunday. while it was later in the afternoon than we originally planned, i was allowed to go home and finally see my little girl and introduce her to "baby Easton." {due to the swine flu epidemic, IHC hospitals in the state of Utah decided to enforce strict visiting rules. sadly, Savanna was not able to visit me or meet Easton until we came home from the hospital.}

we'll just pretend that Savanna was all about the baby. she was excited to see him and touch him. but not enough to put down her trains and hold him.

she asks where he is if i'm not holding him. when he cries she reassuringly tells you, "he's got a bubble," and when i lay him on the floor she lays next to him and counts his fingers...over & over.

unexpected delivery

okay, so that's a bit of an exaggeration, but there were many unexpected moments. all to be detailed in the l-o-n-g story.

the short story:

Baby Easton was born on Friday, October 16 @ 4:30am. he weighed in at an even 7lbs. and measured 20 inches long. BIG news...he's not a crier. yes, he cries, but compared to the set of lungs his sister had i loving refer to his as squealing or squawking.

the l-o-n-g story:

coming soon! until then...enjoy the pictures :)

overload

yes. i need to update the blog with all the fun things we did this summer. yes. we are alive and still looking forward to baby brothers arrival. no. we do not have a name picked out. i am currently on bed rest due to blood pressure issues. i have a great bed buddy, although our tv preferences vary widely, we've been enjoying the day while waiting to hear back from the doctor. will it be more tests? early delivery? two weeks of watching my hands, face, and feet swell to monstrous proportions? it's any ones guess at this point...i don't think i need to mention what i want :) as soon as this drama is over i will share all my fun projects and activities i've been up too. monday Savanna is joining her daddy and his fam on her first ever "witch hunt" at gardner's village. explanation and pictures to come SOON! until then, just know that she is tickled with excitement over the prospect of "twick or treating" and the "naked sppokies" (i.e. skeletons) we have decorating our house. i love this time of year!
